quiet weekend

Sometimes it's quite nice not to do much at all.
This weekend I didn't really leave the house (apart from when I went to had to buy jaffa cakes from the corner shop).
On Saturday Rosie brought home a GIANT world map so we gathered together all our postcards and spent some of Sunday morning playing with little red dots and thread. It's looking good!
But we need more --> if you send us a postcard we'll be ever so pleased.

My postcard collection is growing fast (thanks to some very kind people) and I am running out of room on the boiler to pin them up. So now I have a plan...and a map (courtesy of The Guardian):


This world map is soon to be mounted on my kitchen wall so I can track the postcards I receive (with satisfying pins & bits of string). Though it has been pointed out that a lot of my postcards are sent from within the UK so I may need a separate map to plot those points - England is far too small in relation to the rest of the world. Though it seems to have been scaled up quite a bit on this map:


The hunt for a second map begins...
